Highlights from the past few weeks...

I was able to spend a week in Colorado recently (visiting lots of friends). it was a great trip. and of course, in the midst of the Christmas season, i've also spent a lot of time with friends and family. here are some highlights:

sitting around the table with mandy, raleigh, calli and merilee sharing our hearts
driving through the snow covered mountains to and from Lake City
The Hartmans
playing games with the Deans
not being very good at making plans, but still having a great time with the Deans (lunch and ice skating both turned out to be failures!)
Time in the car with good friends (to and from the airport, being shuttled around CO etc)
Playing in the snow with my nieces
Decorating cookies with Anna, Angela, Danae and Mom
Extended family christmas
Small group dinner and games
increasingly competitive games with Merilee (we may be reaching the point of "taking it a little too far" in our efforts to beat each other!)
Hanging out with Betsy
1/2 off appetizers at applebees with Becky
